I've been dealing with chickenpox for about six days now, and I'm really trying to figure out the best way to take care of myself and recover. Are there specific foods I should avoid or things I shouldn't do while I'm going through this? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to feel better soon.
To care for chickenpox, follow these steps: stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, like water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich drinks; eat a bland diet of foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet); avoid scratching, spicy, or acidic foods, and drinks like citrus juices or caffeinated beverages; take over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen for fever and pain, and antihistamines for itching; apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to soothe skin irritation; and get plenty of rest, while also maintaining good hygiene practices, like washing hands frequently, to prevent the spread of the virus

I'm dealing with this pesky bump on my right cheek that's full of pus. It popped last Friday night, and I squeezed out the pus myself. But now theres a hard area near where it was, and Im wondering if its got more pus inside. What do you think I should do about it?
Given the persistent hardness and potential remaining pus near the furuncle (boil) site, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and guidance; in the meantime, continue warm compresses (3-4 times a day) to promote drainage, keep the area clean with mild soap and water, and avoid squeezing or picking at the site to prevent infection spread.
